Keep the Stables Clean.


The stables in which our COWS are kept should
be kept clean and the atmosphere should be
pure. The ordinary methods to accomplish this
well enough known. But reminded
by contemporary of the usefulness of land
plaster to aid in this work. We have never
thought to recommend land plaster specially for
COW stables. But the suggestion is good one.
Plaster is absorbent. Indeed that is its prin-
cipal Scattered over and through manure,
ii not only aids in purifying the air by its alb
sorption, but preserves much of the fertihzing
elements that would be lost. 1t would be
good investment to buy few barrels of plaster

The Art OF Conversation.

The art of agreeable conversation Is
one all men admire, and most men are
anxious to learn. There are few sub
iects upon which young people oftener
sock atiYiye from those wfruse greater
experience enables them to give wise
counsel. It is frequently said of many
kinds Of teaching that example Is better
than preeept, but this Is not so in ro-
gard to the art of conversation. You
may hear man talk with wonderful
brilliancy, and yet talk no better your
self than you did before.
You must have rules TO observe rather
than persons to initiate.
Boswell accounts for the extraordinary
accuracy and flow of language OF DR..
Johnson by saying that che had early
laid it down as fixed rule to do his best
on every occasion, and in every COM
pany; TO impart whatever he knew in
the most forcible language he could
put 1t in; and that, by constant practice,
and never suffering any careless express
sions to escape him, or attempting to
deliver his thoughts without arranging
them In the clearest manner, it became
habitual to him.
The course which was pursued by SO
eminent q scholar, whose conversational
powers alone sufficed to make him cele-
brated, may well be followed by the youth
of our day who want to learn the much
coveted art OF conversation. New York
